Fear on the Road

22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, "The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him." 23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer. Ezra 8:23

The fear was that they would be attacked by enemies on the road but they knew that God would not allow anything bad to happen, yet the fear was there and they still took their leap of faith on this journey. They prayed and petitioned to God about it all and God answered their prayer. God is always willing to listen and help because of his great love. What road are you scared to take today? Why are you scared if God is there? God works differently with all of us, sometimes he will take this fear away and other times he will say no you keep the fear and just trust me 100%. What is God asking of you today while you stand on this road?

God bless,

Self Help Books????

8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8

I cannot count how many times I see people buying those self help type books. You know the type of books that help you be a better person or help you succeed in life. There is even a very funny movie called “Yes Man” by Jim Carie that deals with bettering yourself on a program made by some person. There are books that help you be a better business man or salesman. In my business we have a saying “ABC” always be closing this came from a movie but I am sure it came from some type of book that helps you succeed in business. But God wrote a book this is a book that teaches you how to live a better life, it teaches you to be a better person in all parts of life. God asks us to follow everything written in it for our lives. If you truly put it in your heart to follow this book called the Holy Bible and ask Jesus to come into your life and forgive your sins you will truly be a changed person. I know change scares us sometimes but change from God is always good. If you want to be better in life and forgiven of your sins then follow Jesus and read the Bible and apply it to your life. After all this is Gods self help book to US and who is a better author than God?

Love

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”- Romans 5:6-8

He died for us so that through him as a sacrifice we could live forever in Heaven and escape hell. But we must ask him into our life and to forgive us of our sins, ask him to change in us what He does not like in us and to guide our steps because he knows what is the best thing for our life. I love the fact that in this Christian life we learn to let go of the wheel and give it over to Jesus because when is in control life is truly way better. God loves us so much that Jesus was put to death on a cross for US and rose again on the 3rd day so that we could have victory over sin and have a relationship with the All Mighty. He died for us out of love and all He wants in return is our love for Him, a love that will listen to him and do His will here on Earth. This life with Christ is so much better than a life without him. I can tell you that from personal experience.

God bless,
